Oh <pedant alert> -

Can we please stop calling the people mover a monorail? When it was a maglev, it was genuinely unique in the world. Now the Chinese have got that tech sorted, with a bit of help from the Germans.

All we have left is a people mover, clearly needing two rails for support and guidance, and a cable in the middle for propulsion.
